are two rivers properly drawn and defined
the present site Of Wichita marked gold
mine" Outside of ancient maps, governor
Martin must remember that not only the
Wichitas and Osages and many other tribes
found the junction Of these two valleys
natural and convenient council ground,
but the government, for its agencies and
treaties with tribes, found it equally central
and CONVENIENT as did the traders, and so
did also the officers Of stationed infantry
and moving cavalry afterwards. Nine
men out of every ten among the first set
tiers of this section, thought and expected
nothing else but that at the junction OF
these two rivers would be the principal
town. The original map of the route for
the Santa Fe filed with the secretary Of the
interior, was to ard by the confluence of
our two rivers.
The conformation of any given country
forces principal and secondary
natural centers. Indian councils were
not held, Indian treaties were not
made government troops did not
biyouac, and traders did not meet TO camp
and station on the present town sites OF
Newton, or of Hutchinson, or Of yelling
ton, or of any other town or city In this
section of the great valley. They all found
the present site Of Wichita convent
re nGezvous just as natural and distinctive
as did the people who subsequently founded
ere a city and who still find it natural
trade center
The traders and explorers from the old
southwest states to the Rockies and the
Pacific coast came by way of the valley
and made this point resting place and
trappers depot and base. The great Texas
cattle traffic from the western and north
en shores of the gulf and reaching the
only railroad at that time in the west and
the grass fields Of the north laid their
trail by this point-the very name
of that trail and drive, was that of
Chisholm, the French trader who lived at
this point But for a recognition of these
facts the writer Of these lines would never
have come here for the purpose of devoting
his life and poor abilities 10 building here
a city. AS evidence of the latter fact IN
the first number of the EAGLE ever issued
we set out our conviction that this was the
natural center of vast and rich region
where great city would be built.
No. Governor, there is but one Great
Arkansas valley, and but one Little Ar
kansas valley and these valleys meet and
become one at but one point where their
waters intermingle, and that point is dis
tinctive, and defined and that point is GOV
cred by the site of the city of Wichita.

Mr.. Gould's testimony before the Union
Pacific Railroad commission seems to us tc
be remarkably full and frank. His history
of his purchases of the Union Pacific stock,
and of the Missouri Pacific road and
branches was interesting, and told as If he
had nothing to conceal. Mr.. Gould does
not purchase of build railroads for philan-
thropic reasons, but he explains the bust
ness reasons which he had in view with
remarkable force The fact is that JAY
Gould, whatever may be said of him, is
one of the most sagacious, enterprising and
clear Drained railway managers the world

Marsh Murdoch at last comes out in
plain words as to the red liquor, and denies
that there are any saloons at all in Wichita.
This is somewhat in conflict with what
some of the other Wichita papers say upon
the subject, but the EAGLE is the recog-
nized exponent of Wichita, and this state
ment may therefore be regarded as official.

1t is rumored at Washington that Sir Ed
ward Thornton, Gas the head of the COM
mission to confer and negotiate with the
state of Virginia in the interest of Eaglish
holders of the bonds of that state issued be-
fore the war; is not disconnected by the
failure to agree upon any plan of settle
ment. 1t is believed that this disagree,
ment was anticipated and is the first step in
a scheme which contemplates a demand
by the English government upon the gov
eminent of the United States for the pay
ment of the principal and interest of the
original debt due by Virginia to English
citizens. The demand will be made on
the ground that the autonomy of the state
was destroyed by the federal government.
This will make fine field for big lawyers.

NO GARLAND.

Those people and journals that are
suggesting the probability of the ap-
pointment of Acknowledgement Gar
land to the vacancy on the supreme
bench caused by the death of Justice
Woods, entertain very low opinion of
President Cleyeland's sense of the pro-
prieties. Nobody attempts to deny that
Garland has broug hit more or less scan
dial upon the Administration. His con-
nection with the Pan Electric Company
was something which put Democrats to
shame, and cast such odium upon Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet thatit has surprised
the Presidents friends and admirers
that he did not at once bounce the At
torney General. Il there is position
in the Government which should be &C.
cupied by pure man it is on the ST.
preme bench; the justice should not
only be pure, but should be above sus-
picion. Who is there Will say that he be-
lieVes Garlandis above suspicion It has
long b9en the popular belief that Presi
dent Cleveland would heaye a sigh of
relief if the Attorney General would
voluntarily retire. 1t is the understand
ing, whether erroneous or otherwise,
that the only reason why Garland has
not been removed was the Presidents
belief that the Acknowledgement would
have the decency to relieve the Admin
istration from the odium which
his connection with it cast
upon Cleveland's government. But
anxious as the President is to
get rid OF Garland, it would make mat
tiers much worse to place him on the
Supreme bench. 1t makes no difference
whether Mr.. Garland is innocent or
guilty of the charge of which he has
been accused so many people believe
he is guilty, that the Supreme Court
would be scandalized by his elevation to
it. If Garland must be placed in a
Federal position, let it not be on the
Supreme Court bench, where, of all
men in the national service, the Judges
should be beyond suspicion.
Assuredly there are able and honest
lawyers in this country to fill every seat
in the Supreme Court which may be-
come vacant. If there are not such
lawyers, if men whose lives have not

a BROKEN BOOM.

The little furry IN real estate in which
the city INDUCED lastmonth subsidized as
suddenly as it had arisen, and matters
have resumed their normal condition.
Now that all is quiet again, and people
and agents have plenty of time to re-
Eect. it may be as well to suggest to all
that what might have developed into q
fairIy brisk real estate business failed
from bad management. People were
too eager to SELL and real estate agents
were too anxious to stimulate boom. I"
Prices were increased in many instances
doubled, and without any other foanda-
ton than reckless newspaper talk and
the enthusiastic utterances Of dealers.
To magnify the sum of their transac-
tons some agents, to our certain knowl-
edge, multiplied the prices paid for
land by two, and reported the double
figures to the public through the
press. Blind sales were also reported
and there were unreliability ana
enforced enthusiasm all along the line.
People who at first had no intention of
selling, read of the high prices paid,
and Immediately offered their lots for
sale st twice their actual value. The
result was the flooding" of the mar
ket. Every intending purchaser had
twenty lots thrust at him, and the price
put on them was usually twice what
10 I'D ~ P1TnrS
Sellers numerous, and land abundant,
and with this condition of things the
falsely stimulated boom" collapsed.
The buyers departed, prices went down
aud business practically ceased, all in
the course of two or three weeks.
Before another attempt is made. if
those interested are wise they will ar
range matters in way to avoid flash
in the pan. They will not overdo the
business. as they did before. There is
no sense in publishing that lot which
is worth $4,000 and sells for
600 brought $40, 600. This course
simply adds 100 per cent. to
the prices of Other lots without
increasing the value il the least; it
throws upon the market so many lots
that one would be excused for believing
the people would like to abandon the
city. and it drives buyers away. TO r.
you can't fool the man with money.
He understands values quite as well as
you, and knows whether more than it
is worth is being asked for a piece Of
property. One of these days times"
are going to be little better than
Aey are now: there will be greater &C
tivity in real estate; some of the buy
ers who have been frightened away
will return, and others will come;
when the upward tendency manifests
itself, don't let your enthusiasm get
